Grilled Sweet Potato Salad With Tahini And Pomegranate Seeds Food

GRILLED SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, mangos, and bell peppers. Add the oil, lime juice, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne, and toss well to coat evenly.
• Lay 2 large pieces of heavy aluminum foil in a stack on a work surface. Mound the sweet potato mixture into the middle and wrap in the foil, turning up the edges to make a tight, well-sealed package. Place directly on the grill and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
• (Alternately, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the potato-mango package in the middle of the oven and roast until the potatoes begin to soften, 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover and roast until tender and starting to caramelize, 15 to 20 minutes.)
• Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before unwrapping. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a large, decorative bowl and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Sprinkle with peanuts and fresh cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper and toss with enough olive oil to coat. Grill the potatoes until caramelized, about 4 minutes per side. Place them on the top rack and close the grill, allowing them to finish cooking through, about 20 minutes more. Remove the potatoes from the grill and allow them to come to room temperature.
• To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegar, capers, honey, mustard and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Dice the potatoes into large chunks and toss in a bowl with the scallions and walnuts. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dress the potatoes with enough vinaigrette to coat the salad. Top with the apples, chives, sesame seeds, cilantro and parsley and serve.

• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potato slices to the grill.
• Turn occasionally, basting with remaining vinaigrette and cook until tender when pierced with a fork - about 10-15 minutes.
• Return grilled potatoes to vinaigrette.
• Add red pepper, scallions, juice, salt and pepper; toss gently and serve.

GRILLED SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. In a colander drain potatoes and cool to warm. With a sharp knife peel potatoes and cut cross-wise into 1/2 inch-thick slices.
• While potatoes are boiling, prepare grill. In a small bowl whisk together oil, salt, jalapeno pepper and cumin and brush some onto both sides of potato slices, reserving remaining cumin oil. Grill slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, and transfer with tongs to a platter.
• Thinly slice scallion diagonally and sprinkle over potatoes. Whisk lime juice into remaining cumin oil with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over potatoes. Serve potato salad with lime wedges and sprinkle with coriander.
